IMPROVEMENT IN COLLARS.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom-it may concern:

Be it known that I', GYRUs W. SALADEE, of Circleville, in the State of Ohio, have invented a new and improved Mode of Making Paper Collars; and I'hereby declare that the following is a full and exact de-V scriptionthereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.v

My invention has reference only to that class of collars denominated standing collars, and, by its application, I acquire the double advantage of imparting to the standing collar the appearance of any of the ap proved styles of turn-down collar, and which device also secures the neck-tie or cravat in its proper position.

I attain this object by the peculiar shape of the p erforations in the sides of the collar.

I am aware that slits and perforations have been made in both standing and turn down collars, for

the purpose of holding the neck-tie or cravat in position, and to which I make no claim, as'that is old and well known; but what I do contend forl as absolutely novel in my invention is, viz, perforating the sides of standing collars in such shape and .manner as that, when the cravat is in position, it shall have the appearance of a turn-down collar.

' I tlius'combine, in a very simple manner, the advantages of both the standing and turn-down, eol-` lars in the standing collar, and which is done at about one-half' the cost in material as used in the present method of making the ordinary styles of @turn-down collars.

In the drawings- Figure l represents a standingcollar, with the cravat in position, and in imitation of the Shakspearef style of turn-down collar; and

Figure 2 is the same collar straightened out, with the cravat in position, and which shows the shape of the lower edge of the collar, andl how the points A A are formed, to give the collar, when in position, the appearance of the turn-down style.

I will here state that the points A A may be'out in I any shape the fancy may dictate, or may be ont in imitation of any of the present styles of turn-down collars.

Figure 5 is another vmodification of my invention,

and in imitation of the turn-down style; but in this case the points A A are formed by the perforations I I through the sides of th'e collar, as seen in Figure 9; and through the back of this collar, lig. 5, are perforations B B, and the points thus made are used to .prevent the cravat from working up on the back of the neck.

Fig. 5 also shows how the cravatis adjusted when the collar is in position.

These points A can be made any shape, inl imitation ofthe turn-down collar, by the shape of the perforations I I. l

I intend so moulding or stamping the points A made by the perforations I I, fig. 9, that-theyshall are out from the main body of the collar when in position on the neck, and thus more completely imitate a turndown collar; and, in the process of moulding or stamping these points, they may receive an impression of any' fanciful design, printed or embossed thereon.

The other figures in the drawings represent other modifications not necessary to be particularly described in this connection. 1

Claim.

In testimony' thatI claim the above, I hereunto subscribe my name on this, the 4th day of November,

OYRUS W. SALADEE.
